• We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [ OFF] when using a tripod.
[WIDESCREEN]: The camcorder uses the full width of the image sensor providing high-
resolution 16:9 recordings.
• Since the screen on the camcorder has an aspect ratio of 16:9, recordings with a 4:3
aspect ratio will appear in the center of the screen with black sidebars.
• Playing back a widescreen recording: TV sets compatible with the WSS system will
automatically switch to wide (16:9) mode. Otherwise, change the aspect ratio of the TV
manually. To play back on a TV with normal aspect ratio (4:3) change the [TV TYPE]
setting accordingly ( 87).

[FOCUS PRI.]:
When the focus priority is activated, the camcorder records a photo only
after the focus has been adjusted automatically. You can also select which AF frames to use.

selected and the focus is fixed on them.

focus is automatically fixed on it.
[ OFF]: No AF frame will appear and the photo will be recorded immediately after you
press .
• When the recording program is set to [ FIREWORKS], focus priority is
automatically set to [ OFF].

brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.

camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the camcorder to mode.

example, by mounting it on a tripod.
[WIND SCREEN]: The camcorder automatically reduces the background sound of wind
when recording outdoors.
• Some low-frequency sounds will be suppressed along with the sound of wind. When
